Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois. I received my Masters from Aurora University and have been practicing for 12 years. I have over 30 years of experience in the therapeutic, medical, and social service settings; including outpatient mental health treatment, health coaching, and case management. I specialize in individual therapy with adults dealing with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, family issues, work-life issues, communication problems, anger and stress management.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and I will ask for an in-depth history in order to get to know you and allow you to get to know me as well. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My counseling style is open and collaborative to develop a personalized treatment plan, set goals, and work toward solutions. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion while providing a safe place to work through their issues. I work primarily from a holistic approach, recognizing that our mind, body, and environment are intricately connected.
